A great base to explore the Lakes. An idyllic location in Watermillock a mile above Ullswater, High House Farm sits in 10 aches of open fields and surrounded by breath-taking views of the fells.

Take advantage of walks from the doorsteps to Aira Force waterfalls part of the Ullswater Way, Little Mell Fell and Gowbarrow fell- 2 of the 214 Wainwrights. Uncover the impressive views of Helvellyn, the 3rd highest peak in England - 7 miles away and the surrounding fells. If opting for hiking or biking adventure the choices are endless. A mile away a pub beckons serving local ales. Venture 3 miles to the bustling village of Pooley Bridge, here you find riverside coffee shops, pubs, a restaurant, independent stores, a bookshop and an off license, P.O and Tourist Information. From here you can take in the magnificent scenery from the water when onboard one of Ullswater steamers to Howtown where there is a tea room or further to the lively village of Glenridding which has a sailing centre. For a more leisurely day indulge in a spa day at the local Hotel less than a mile away.

The Byre was the first cottage to be competed. With it's original barn features this characterful cottage is full of soul and ideal for a cosy getaway for two. The Byre has two steps up the front door, opening into the open plan living space equipped with a large comfy sofa and TV, with Sky channels creating an ideal setting for relaxation. The kitchen has all the amenities for your stay. The bedroom leading off has a super-king bed, fitted cupboards and DAB radio, an ensuite bathroom with shower over bath and cosy underfloor heating. Step outside to the enclosed outdoor seating area for a morning brew overlooking a meadow.

No longer a working farm, 5 of the traditional stone buildings have been lovingly converted into stylish self catering cottages with character and exposed beams providing the perfect spot to savour the surroundings. Designed for comfort and ease of use the cottages offer a one level living experience. The cottages sit privately from each other and all have an enclosed outdoor seating area with furniture and fire bowl. There is ample parking and storage for kayaks and bikes. Less than a 20 minute drive from the M6 makes High House Farm accessible for short breaks or full week holidays.

I went away solo with my dog to do a little self healing. I absolutely loved every minute there and will definitely be returning. Everything is so very thoughtfully laid out and exceeded my expectations. Loved it!!

A lovely cottage in a perfect location, take a very short walk down the quiet lane to access the Ullswater Way Trail which takes you all the way up to Gowbarrow Fell (Wainwright) in less than 6km! Very clean, has everything we needed and good off road parking.
